This is a new install and I get an error when either trying to open a demo station or create a new system. The error is Create RobCtrlInfo failed, hr=80070424.

Any ideas on this?

Hi,

If you are running on Windows 2000, try to execute Reg\_ComServer\_NetScan.cmd in the Utilities folder of the RS 5.08 DVD. (See also section 9 in the release notes.)
